Here is the sentence from my essay:&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Those who opposed this belief, such as abolitionists <strong>whom/who</strong> denominated the North, were perceived by the south as acting against God.</p>
<p>
&nbsp;</p>
<p>
I do not know if I should use whom, who or another word that would make the sentence grammarly correct.&nbsp;</p>

&#39;Who&#39; is the correct word. It is the subject of &#39;dominated&#39; and the subjective pronoun is needed.</p>

<p>Who is correct because you are describing a subject. Whom is when you are describing a object.</p>
